Hi. Starting a new grow, my third, but first in a few years.

Anyway, got my GF to agree to let me put a four shelf sterilite cabinet in a closet to grow in. Don't want the cabinet out in the open and I use the left-over closet space for clothing (have to fabreeze all my clothes to get out he smell I am sure). The closet is more wide than deep with a sliding door (think normal closet turned sideways). The cabinet is made of sterilite and is 25-5/8"L x 18-7/8"w x 69-3/8". There is about 8" above the cabinet I will utilize for ventlation, but the closet door will remain closed most of the time and the cabinet doors will be adjar some of the time but close often.

I plan to divide the cabinet in two: one for veg/propegation and one for flowering.

Anyway, could I safely, (I mean with no more risk than fluoros) use an HPS grow light in that space? If so, what size? What sort of spike would I see in electricity? (For both fluoros and HPS) Finally, any suggestions on preventing light from leaking from the veg section to the flowering section?
Oh, one other, Could I easily have eight veg plants and four bloomers in that space?

Thanks!
